X-Ray Diffraction Studies of the Structure of Amorphous Polymers

  • Chapter
The Physics of Glassy Polymers

Part of the book series: Materials Science Series ((MASCSE))

Abstract

The purpose of the present chapter is to review the contribution of X-ray diffraction studies to the elucidation of the structure of glassy amorphous polymers. The general theory of X-ray diffraction by matter has been treated in many texts and an up-to-date account is that of Warren1 which has sections dealing with the application of X-ray methods to amorphous materials. A very thorough treatment was given by Hosemann and Bagchi2 with a preface which contains an interesting short critical review of the historical development of X-ray diffraction studies. The application of X-ray diffraction methods to polymers has been the subject of a textbook3 which deals with both theoretical interpretations and experimental methods and contains a listing of the crystallographic data available for about 270 polymers (up to 1968 in an Appendix compiled by R. L. Miller); however, crystalline polymers are beyond the scope of this review. Here we will be concerned with amorphous polymers in which the X-ray scattering is observed in Laue photographs as a diffuse amorphous halo similar in general features to that obtained from other amorphous structures, such as gases, liquids and inorganic glasses.
